Buy this first
- Our take
- BGG rates it 8.38 from 3,908 ratings. In BGG threads players name it the first expansion to get, and one calls it "a collection of fixes, think Orleans 2.0". Others say the base game needs no expansion at all.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
- What it adds
- New place tiles plus four modules: Order cards (a set of goods plus a city, for points), 34 new event tiles (18 used per game), a replacement Beneficial Deeds board with new rewards, and an Intrigue Deeds board that lets you attack and steal from opponents.
- What it fixes
- BGG forum players say the new deeds board and Order cards make sending followers away and map travel more interesting, especially at 2 players.
